2016 Postmortem

Actually The Lying Cheeto Sporkhands committed REAL crimes.
Where are the calls to lock him up? Where is the 24/7 press coverage and all reporters beating his lying surrogates to death demanding they answer for his actions/crimes?
The press doesn't need to dig very deep. Just scratching the surface reveals more (Lying Trump) crimes than they could possibly cover, even if they wanted to.
They don't want to.
Horserace elections bring in more eyeballs and advertising $$. We all know if they covered Lying Trump with any of the scrutiny they smash Mrs. Clinton with daily he would be polling at 5% or less.
This makes me sick.

(8,995 posts)The media are truly weak. They fail to question his lies in interviews. They allow him to change the subject and deflect points. They never attacked his birther BS much, if at all. Now they fail to pick up on the stream of victims and illegal activities. Not to mention his crap 360 degree "flips".
A dismal situation.

Americans seem to enjoy watching a large, bloated orange maniac implode every day on national TV. Did he return his escort wife for a refund, or a younger replacement?

Hillary is being asked not to have any association with people who give donations for charity to the Clinton and held under a cloud of suspicion over potential "pay for play" allegations over charitable donations. Trump is openly personally profiting by his business deals with foreign nationals who are well connected with their respective governments, if not actually a part of them. Has anyone asked Trump to divest his interests in foreign Hotels and resorts for example? Does anyone ask if Trump has not/would not use his standing as the potential next American President (or POTUS if elected in November) to leverage some sweetheart deals for his personal business empire, either now or later?
